By the way, if you use the x264vfw codec for encoding your videos, then you can set a quality factor (called "constant rate factor or CRF", that automatically adjusts the bit rate depending on how busy the video is, to maintain a consistent level of quality. So you end up with a variable bit rate, and better quality for a given overall bit rate (because you're not using the maximum bit rate for scenes that don't need it).
